The 'diff -r' should handle this fine. Are you running the 'diff -r'
in the same relative location to where you are running the 'patch'
command or using the -p option correctly? Are your running the diff(1)
command someplace where you have different directory name in between
the pwd and the source files than on the machine you run patch(1)?
